….pencil in where your octopus will be…(which don’t show up that well so, no photo)…
…fill in the spaces with white……give the white spaces a black border….
…add red to the tongue & eyes…
…cover white and black bordered bits with yellow…
…cover the yellow with green…(add blue to the spit round the tongue)…
…spots…like the leopard, any self discerning octopus is nothing without spots….
…dry brush in some shadow at the appropriate junctures…and white highlights on the spit…
….finish with a black outline….
…hang it on the wall….
…now you try.
